Instant laid hedge?

[Pandion]

Your main issue will be the May planting.

I learned that the earlier you plant the better. I aimed to plant before February. Root hair growth will occur above freezing so anything in the ground early starts growing and gets a head start.

 

Yes, you can plant just about anytime but watering becomes essential later on.

 

One of Sod's laws is that you get dry spell after late planting and near 100% losses can occur.

 

 

 

 

Thanks Fagus, if they go for it, will recommend irrigation or they can wait until Autumn. Thanks.

Surely if the customer "saw a laid hedge and now wants one" they won't give half a flying *** about regrowth from the bottom.

The only thing they'll see is whether or not the stems are all at the same angle and the binding. "Oh that looks nice, that weavy thing on top"...)

 

 

No Mr Rover, they wouldn't, but I would! Many thanks!
